Course Syllabus
Abstract
The course will equip students with linguistic and extralinguistic tools and strategies that will make them effective communicators in the field of their specialisation at the proficiency level of communicative competence. Students will master instruments of discourse analysis and apply them to the study of professional discourse. They will use artificial intelligence tools and generative models for natural language processing, text creation and analysis. Students will create multimodal content of individual pragmatic value. The course project will require students to plan and conduct a workshop or a coaching session related to their specialisation.

Assessment Elements
- Class Participation and Homework Completion 1Active participation and engagement will be required in this course. All students are expected to have read the assigned material PRIOR to the class meetings. At random times throughout the course, students will be called upon to present to the entire class a brief overview of the main issues discussed in the readings or to share the “results” of their homework assignment. Before some of the seminars, tests/quizzes will evaluate students’ understanding of the required Key Texts. It is up to the instructor to decide whether to give a quiz or not; students will not be warned about it in advance, so they should do their reading beforehand. Written quizzes are compulsory for everyone who is in class at that moment. If a 5-minute quiz is used as a written form of checking home assignments, a student who is late is not permitted to write the quiz. A student who is absent is not permitted to do it either.
- Class Participation and Homework Completion 2
- Professional CaseStudents suggest a solution of a professional case based on the analysis of professional literature.
- Multimodal ProductStudents create, manage and present a multimodal product such as a podcast, a VK group, a TG channel. The topic should relate to their specialisation.
- Professional EventThe students plan and conduct a professional event such as a training session, a workshop, a presentation.
- ТестThe number and formats of assessments may vary. This may be a short response, an MCQ or any other type of test. A dictation on terminology can also be included.
